Some say the '86 models was one of the best.
Make sure you get some boots on those forks too....

Daystar 13" fork boots. Two color blues - make sure you get the brighter blue that matches your seat.

Not sure how tall you are, but those "lowboy" bars might make the bike a handful.
Took Britincali 3 years to get some taller bars, now he thinks he invented the things..

I hope you let the air out of the forks when you crank them down on the trailer....
